Nice and clean Stu! How many pins are in those connectors?

Re: New Project!
 

Such a nice conversion, so much like the Blocher kit from Germany, very professional.

Re: New Project!
 

Thanks Kaptain, new video coming soon, just got to finish the wiring first:eek:

Thanks Nate, 6 pins in each, one socket is for the lights the other for attachments;)

Thanks Claus, I studied many pics of the Blocher kit before and during my conversion.

Cheers
Stu

A few more to solder then I can shoot another vid.

Nice and tidy. Good job on the electrical wiring. That's one thing that definitely pays off when you take your time to get it right. Looking forward to some more video!

Re: New Project!
 

I know what you mean, I hate messy wiring:eek:

Peeing it down today so managed to finish the wiring and shoot a quick indoor vid, been playing around with different engine sounds too, let me know what you think.

Wow, the machining is superb. Flawless!!

Re: New Project!
 

nice job - it's not uncommon for the big tractors to only have a towing eye. 3 point hitch is used for implements which need to be lifted, which is frequently not the case for the large ploughs and seed drills that require high towing forces. I'd be looking to get that tipping trailer to work first :D

Re: New Project!
 

Thanks ricm, I know what you mean but I still like the idea of a working hitch, must be a european thing:)

The trailer is on the to do list, I want to make a new ally chassis for it, need to get the tractor finished first though.

The rose joints, clevis's and brass arrived so found some time this week and cranked up the mill:

Thanks for lookin

Re: New Project!
 

Nice! Looking forward to seeing that 3 point hitch all finished up and on the tractor.

Re: New Project!
 

Awesome. I get distracted a lot too, Stu, but your 3 point hitch looks right at home on the back of the tractor. RC4WD Gelande? Those scale 4x4 trucks are a lot of fun!

Re: New Project!
 

Thanks Nate, need to make some implements now:eek:

yeah its a G2, had it for almost a year and yesterday was its first run out! Your right its great fun:D still got a lot I want to do to it though.

Re: New Project!
 

very talented i am impressed

Re: New Project!
 

Quite a few neat building techniques in this...... I really like the articulation detail. It looks to operate very well and with great scale appearance in the vid. Well done Stu!

Re: New Project!
 

Looks great, and very much to scale with the painted wheels!

Re: New Project!
 

Getting better all the time!

Re: New Project!

Picked up a door strip from a job this week, going to rip it down for a cutting edge:

Started making a box to transport it in, this is the base:

Finished the blade:

And fitted some flashing beacons:

I have also set one of the channels on the usm-rc2 to EKMFA and am controlling this with switches on the Taranis.
The Taranis is programmed to send a set number of pulses depending on which function you want on/off.
